Hello Are there any Owners meets in North Essex or Suffolk? I'm new to Vauxhall ownership so keen to get the advice of the more experienced, and I always enjoy a good owners club meet up.

Waters getting in on the passenger front and rear foot well, when I pour water over the windscreen water runs down the bulkhead, It had the windscreen replaced a few months ago but the company that did it say it's nothing to do with the windscreen, this is my partners car and I have to fix it, any pointers greatly appreciated, VID_20260111_134952.mp4

Hiya , my name is Steve I'm a driver in my 60s and I have just bought my first Vauxhall. I've made 4 short trips in it since delivery in December but tommorow we make a 86 mile drive to London , give that battery a top up ! Looking forward to learning more about the Brand and my new car.

Here is what I found on a google search On a 2020 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2, the PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) valve is generally located near or integrated into thetop of therocker cover(valve cover), often found at the end of a vent hose leading from the engine. It's a small, sometimes cylindrical component that controls crankcase vapor flow and is a common replacement item for rough running or oil issues, identifiable by its hose connection and placement on the engine's top.

Hi all wife has a 2020 corsa F 40,000 miles . Tought of checking,cleaning or replacing PVC valve can anyone pin point where this valve is located please 1.2 PureTech engine. Saw video on puretech peugeot 2008 but the valve on corsa is not in the same position Any help greatly appreciated

Not entirely sure if it is a direct fit. It may be better to get a TomTom or similar as they update regularly using WiFi so its always current information and can transfer to other cars as well

I have come across this before but cannot remember the relearn process unfortunately. I would suggest to take a look at the connections down on the pedal and see if there is any damage or dirt collecting in the area. As it seems to be a current fault and is intermittent then quite possibly the connection is loose or some wiring is damaged.

Does anyone have any idea how to reset/relearn the throttle idle position? I keep getting engine repair light randomly and ODB error P2176 - Generic Throttle Actuator Control System Idle Position Not Learned. The engine is responsive and there's no loss of performance, sometimes is goes by itself, other times I just reset it... 19 plate Crossland 1.2 petrol turbo.

My 65 plate 1.4 turbo Sri has no sat nav. If I buy a used Vauxhall sat nav complete with dash trims from a donor car, is it a straight swap? (will it work)

If it is running fine and no drop in the coolant level then it should be okay - obviously when the weather starts to get warm then it is worth checking the fan to ensure its working okay

Coolant level is fine, just driven 50 miles all ok, I can see the level through the new expansion tank I fitted as the old one was very dirty.

Well I guess if it is not overheating and the heater is blowing warm then as long as the coolant level doesn't drop then it should be fine. There may still be some air in the system but that will always work its way up to the expansion tank eventually.

I am using the secret settings/BC button to get a temperature on screen as the B has know temperature dial on the dash(silly). I have just changed the radiator and temperature gets in the nineties before a slight drop (no fan) thermostat must open, cold weather stopping the fan kicking in after around 10 minutes ticking over?

I would to.. also make sure its a good one too. fast charge phones etc.

I would be tempted to remove the socket and replace with a USB charger sock instead. If you are replacing the assembly then it doesn't matter about damaging what remains of the socket to remove it.

No, that is as it should be - the only time the pulley 'locks up' is when the pump is energise and locks into place when you switch the air con on. You will know if it is working as the engine revs will drop and the engine will sound laboured and also an audible click/clunk noise will be heard

My first thoughts were the belt tensioner being worn but you can see if this is happening because it will 'walk' towards the edge of the pulleys as soon as you run it up. Also look for any signs of a specific area that it is walking off - could be main crank pulley, Air Con, water pump, alternator, etc. This should give an indication of where the misalignment is present - sometimes known it to be some grit up behind the mounting bracket causing it to be misaligned.

Happy new year to you too Shiny ! Thermostats usually open around 80 degree centigrade but cooling fans rarely come on until around 100 degrees when the engine is hot due to idling when stationary without airflow. If you have Air Conditioning then the A/C fan would fire up occasionally to bring the interior temperature down

I know of oil additives that will clean the carbon from the piston rings and this can restore compression and cylinder sealing but it is just something you add to the oil and run for a while and then empty out and refill with fresh oil - but this is a £25 bottle of snake oil - which may or may not resolve your issue. Look up Forte treatments and you can see specs and benefits of their products

Please let us know what you find and how you get on with it all
